It looks like we are trying to access deallocated memory.

Phil


One thing I have done to this machine recently is to add more RAM - I
plus-d it up to 8 Gig of RAM from 4. SM began acting up shortly after
that, but none of my other apps - I've run Techtool on the install
and
the memory checks good, the machine recognizes and reports it, so I'd
like to think that merely upgrading RAM wouldn't affect SM.

Would/should it?..

Hrm. Try removing the extra 4GB temporarily.

Phil


That's way more work than it's worth, given that nothing else on my
'Book is misbehaving.


What? "... way more work?" I don't do Apple but, where's the hard work?
Geez, in my Win laptop or any of my towers that's maybe 5 minutes from
shutdown to reboot. If you don't have 5 minutes to try a solution ...?


I have to get out a screwdriver and remove 11 screws to open up my
MacBook Pro - it's one of the new milled aluminum ones. Then I have to
pop out the new, perfectly fine RAM that Techtool tests prefectly good
and downgrade my machine...screw it back together and run it for some
time...then do it all over again (and risk stripping the threads on my
case each time) to get back to the upgrade I payed for and have already
installed successfully? All for *one* misbehaving app? No, thanks...


Sounds like an incredibly stupid hw design. My laptop (Thinkpad) takes
one screw to access the memory. By the way, in your secnario, don't put
all the 11 screws back in before you test it after removing the RAM.
There ya go, saved you a bunch of time!


I still like my "destroy and reinstall" scenario better...

Apple is taking to making their "consumer" level gear more and more inaccessible of late, with the exception of the newest Mini...that one is actually made so the user can add RAM more easily as opposed to the older ones. The new MacBook Pro cases don't even make the battery easy to access.

The Apple "unitized appliance" design all started with the iPods...I don't much like the concept either, but I do like and prefer working on/with Apple hardware/software to the Dell/Windoze crap I have to tolerate at work.
